http://www.lambdassociates.org/blog/klambda.htm suggests a possible bootstrapping mechanism, some kind of reduced set of clojure functionality "ur-clojure" that is designed to be easy to write and interpreter for, and a compiler backend that generates ur-clojure, after compiling the compiler+platform backend to ur-clojure you write an ur-clojure interpreter on the platform in question, feed the compiler+backend through the interpreted compiler+backend to compile it for the platform you are bootstrapping, and then you are bootstrapped.
You could do something similar, but maybe simpler, by taking the maps output from the analysis phase of the compiler run over the compiler and serliazing them as json (so they are easily readable on different platforms) effectively substituting the maps output from the analysis phase for ur-clojure.
